He said that all their events are still set to go as planned. He said , “Right now, everything’s still set for this weekend coming up in Abu Dhabi. Ari Emanuel appeared in an interview with Fox Sports. During the conversation, the host asked him about WWE Crown Jewel’s status. We have a UFC fight. We have in the middle of November, a freeze art show, so, so far so good, nothing’s been canceled.”
As of now, two matches have been announced for WWE Crown Jewel 2026.
“Yeah, we have a whole team kind of working on this and kind of when and if it doesn’t happened where we can move it, it’s a daily monitoring” , said Emanuel. Furthermore, Emanuel also stated that one of their teams has been deployed to monitor the ongoing situation in Saudi Arabia daily. It will see top champions from the Men’s and women’s sides clash for the WWE Crown Jewel Championships. Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn will go head-to-head in a singles bout, while Chelsea Green and Liv Morgan will battle it out in the second match.
